Right.  But there are other problems.  

- Updating to the latest Org via `bzr update' would take longer compared
  to the current `git pull' (several factors here...)

- Some people don't have access to their Emacs installation (at work,
  for example) and still want the latest Org.

And surely more.  In any case, I'm all in favor of having the most
recent Org in Emacs trunk regularily, but migrating the development
of Org from the separate git repo to Emacs bzr repo is a no-go.
